How to Edit Your Moodle Profile v2

Every user has a personal profile page in Moodle. This page allows you to post your picture, add a personal statement, and other information you would like your peers, students, or classmates to see. 

Adding a profile picture

1. In the upper right hand corner click on Your Name, Profile.

2. Go to the User details block. Click on Edit Profile.



3. Scroll to the section labeled User picture.


Click the file button, (it looks like a piece of paper). This will take you to "file picker" where you can upload a file or you can drag and drop a photo from your computer. NOTE: The picture must be in JPG or PNG format. Moodle will crop the image to a 100x100 pixel square. Your Moodle upload limit applies.

4. Once selected, click Update profile at the bottom of the page.
NOTE: Refresh your browser if the profile image hasn't changed.

  1. Web page address
  2. IDs for common peer-to-peer and social networking sites
  3. Department

Once, done. Click the Update profile button at the bottom of the page.
